Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I have tried creating NetCDF files on an IRIS workstation running IRIX, a UNIX clone, to an IBM-compatible 486. However, when I subseqently run NCDUMP (compiled for the 486) on this file, it gives me an error message: ncopen: Not a NetCDF file which led me to suspect that the FTP process was altering the NetCDF file, since if it was unchanged, it would (theoretically, anyway) be readable by a DOS-compiled version of NCDUMP. I am transferring the NetCDF file from the IRIS to the 486 via a "network drive" system in Windows for Workgroups File Manager, which shouldn't change the file at all (should it?). Could someone please give me a hint as to what is happening? Regards - Victor R. Essers.
